    Shrimp Tacos w/ Fried Okra
    Teresa M.

    Restaurant is connected to a hotel. The dining is casual. Overall food was tasty and the shrimp was well seasoned. The server was friendly and helpful. Looking forward to trying something new next time.

    Boom Boom Shrimp + Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potato Tots
    Amber N.

    We had a large order for delivery. It arrived in the estimated time and everything was correct. Everything was good. I tried boom boom shrimp, mac n cheese and sweet potato tots. I especially liked the sweet potato tots. The cinnamon is a nice touch and it's not too sweet while eating a savory meal.

    Shrimp Sampler
    Branden S.

    I was wavering between a 4 and 5 stars. It was really good. I got the shrimp sampler and it was a nice variety. Also had the clam chowder which I was skeptical of since they don't make it fresh here but it was really tasty. This place is off the street and frequently doesn't have a lot of customers, but if shrimp is your thing this is the place to go.

    My family enjoyed our dinner here last night. I'll admit I didn't realize it was a restaurant adjoining a Comfort Inn lobby but don't let that dissuade you from eating here. The boom boom shrimp and the sweet chili shrimp were amazing! The crispy light batter with the sticky sweet sauce is just divine. The sweet potato tots were so delicious! My nephew loved the shrimp scampi pasta and the snow crab legs were devoured by my sister and said to be fresh and delicious as well. Not one person out of 7 had any complaints about our food and the servers kept our drinks constantly filled. There were only a few other tables when we arrived yet the place started to fill up as we were leaving. Thanks for the great meal!

    We were looking for a light meal and this was perfect! Not crowded and service was friendly. They were generous enough to split the Alfredo meal into two meals for our two granddaughters and it was plentiful.

    My fam and I came in for lunch and the place was empty. We were greeted by a friendly employee and we took our seats and picked what we wanted. You order at the counter and they bring everything out to you. The food was surprisingly pretty great in my opinion! Hush puppies and calamari were both very flavorful. Calamari portion was generous, and came with a great sauce. Fried fish and shrimps were also great, all had a wonderfully seasoned coating. The real star was the clam chowder soup. Super creamy and satisfying. Staff was kind and checked up on us regularly, but only one was visibly wearing a mask and taking proper precautions given the current situation. Regardless though everything was great!

    I have had food from this place twice now and I must say it is very good. It's a little pricey, but I guess it's seafood in general. I love the shrimp and the Mac and cheese is pretty good. It's a restaurant connected to a hotel and it's in the back,but it's worth visiting. I haven't eaten inside,I just order takeout. They don't do phone orders so you have to order online. I do recommend to try their food. I've only had the shrimp.

    Fish & Chips

    While vacationing in Orlando, my family had dinner here the other night. My wife and oldest daughter has the sautéed shrimp and really enjoyed it. My youngest daughter has the fried shrimp and enjoyed hers too. I had the fish (haddock) & chips which was delicious. My son had chicken tacos and he thought they were delicious also. This location only loses a star for the atmosphere which was bland at best.

    In Florida just visiting and what not. Came here because yum, duh. Since we came in the middle of the day it was maybe one or two families inside. It is pretty large inside with I believe an upstairs as well. I had shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries and the Mr. got a po'boy. I thoroughly enjoyed my food, the shrimp was cooked great it wasn't over fried and they were seasoned nicely. I only wish they had options that aren't all fried. Desire checking in, they forgot my hush puppies.

    Shrimp Tacos
    Dwayne O.

    Nantucket Shrimp Shack Good size restaurant specializes in "Shrimp". Good size portions on the orders at a fair price. People are real nice and friendly, when we arrived, there was practically no one else which was kind of concerning. Fish and Shrimp with French Fries was good, the shrimp was outstanding, the fries were bountiful and crisp, just good to average. The breaded fish was good and good size. Shrimp Tacos order came with 3 good size tortilla tacos filled with shrimp and were tasty, would recommend the shrimp tacos. From the previous Yelp reviews, I had high expectations that I personally felt the restaurant did not live up to. Nothing bad, but just expected more

    Coconut Shrimp and fried, great!
    Larry S.

    My wife and I visited here on Sunday evening about 6:30 PM, after a trade show and hotel a 3 minute walk away. We were greeted and told to be seated anywhere. Not a problem since there was only one other table occupied. We were given menus and told to come to counter to place our order, which we did. We had earlier checked their menu and reviews on Yelp so we already knew our selections. We placed our orders and took advantage of the military discount. I also confirmed that I was a Yelper, which entitled us a free serving of corn fritters. First problem came when I visited the bathroom. The urinal was broken and the toilet had stuff in it from a prior occupant and did not flush well. I was surprised that this restaurant had capacity for a large number of people but had only single occupant toilets! My wife also visited the ladies room that was out of bathroom tissue. Our food came in good time and was fantastic. I ordered the Fried Seafood Platter. It was very hot and appealing. My shrimp were great and accompanied by cocktail sauce and a spicy boom-boom sauce. My fried okra was also fantastic and plentiful. My oysters were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, perfect! My wife ordered the Coconut Shrimp platter with fries. Her shrimp was also excellent and her sauce choice was also the boom-boom spicy. Fries were also very good. There was a single Condiment Bar with a variety of sauces and hot sauces. Sadly though most of the sauces were almost empty or empty. I hesitated to use any that may have sat for a long time, having had a stomach issue years ago from a restaurant hot sauce that had aged to a dangerous level. I did use the malt vinegar for my tilapia. Several issues took Nantucket Shrimp down to 3 stars but the fantastic food brought it up to 4.

    Really good food here, been here many times before and food is always on point. The shrimp sampler is a must and my new favorite is the andouille sausage poboy. It is very flavorful and it doesn't cost that much. The sweet potato tots, hush puppies, mac and cheese and coleslaw are all really good sides. A great place to eat.

    Nantucket Lobster Roll & Fried Okra
    Cindee P.

    I'm sorry for the people who gave bad reviews because I had an amazing experience. I just stopped in for a quick lunch and took some to go for my daughter. The food was fast and delicious. I looked around a little bit. I didn't get to check out the 2nd floor, but I will definitely be back with the family for some good food and drinks. I had the Nantucket Lobster Roll with Fried Okra for myself and Shrimp Po Boy for my daughter. The Lobster Roll was stuffed and the bread was buttery and soft. The Okra was fried perfectly. I had a couple of my daughter's fries and they were addicting, but I didn't get a chance to taste her Shrimp Po Boy. Andre and Shawniece showed some Southern hospitality along with the cooks who worked fast to get my to-go order out.

    We love to have a lobster feast once in a while, but it can be pricy! So when we are in Orlando and…read moreoverwhelmed with Disney pricing, we figure for the same price we can get a great AUCE lobster buffet in a "real world" restaurant! We've been here before and while it's not entirely inexpensive, it is priced well for what it is. Though it IS a buffet, the lobster itself is served to you one at a time. Good call! The rest of the food offerings are of really good variety and you should find plenty to enjoy here, including cute tasty desserts. Standouts are seafood casserole, cornbread, seafood/shellfish of all types and many salads, sushi rolls, a variety of fish preparations, etc. The drink specials are fun, but will still pad the bill, so we abstained. The staff were all personable and hardworking, with the bar-staff pulling double duty on the floor and still cheerful about it. One HUGE table left a paltry cheap tip for the poor guy, so we gave extra. Don't b a D*CK, people! Restrooms are fine and the wait was minimal. Parking is great on site, at no charge. Yay! Check it out when visiting exciting Orlando for a fun satisfying meal after a crazy day in the parks! Thanks for following me, stay cool in hawt summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami

The hotel lobby was very clean and sleek, and the concierge were very nice and communicative! The restaurant is just inside on the first floor, and was very well presented. It was very slow this morning for brunch, and we had no problems finding a place to sit with our little 2 month old boy! The staff served us quickly, and explained each of their recommendations. I'm so glad we listened because each of the items were beautifully presented, and so so delicious. We started with the tuna pizza, mainly because we were curious, and that was the most unique take on pizza/seafood in my opinion. The tuna was so fresh, the garlic aioli complimented very well with the crisp cracker/crust. I had the Ette Norwegian Benedict and was very happy. The smoked salmon was very tasty, and the side arugula and avocado salad was very fresh. Maddie had the lobster roll which absolutely slapped! Lastly, we were recommended the AB Chocolate in a cup, and WOW you must try this! Very warm nutella chocolate cake at the bottom, vanilla ice cream all the way to the top of the cup, and topped with a hard chocolate disk and banana foam. It was honestly one of the top desserts I have ever had. We shared one, but so tempted to order another one! I can't wait to come back and try some of their cocktails sometime with dinner!

There was no one at the S&C desk so I went back to the check-in desk to ask for assistance. There was a brief conversation between employees before someone noticed me waiting to ask a question and a quick greeting and urgent response to where I needed to go. She quickly got an appropriate staff member and I was seated for my party of 5. When I got to the table, it was only seated for 4, I asked for an extra chair and table settings. The server promptly added the extras and asked if I'd like water for the table. As I waited for my party, I soaked in the decor. I felt at ease. The design uses beiges and woods with pops of gold and rich colors. The food and drinks were good. I got or tasted: -Queen Bee (gin based cocktail) its a tasty and strong little cocktail made for sipping. Kind of like a red wine with grapefruit flavor(7/10) -Rock Shrimp Saucy Fried shrimp with a kick (8.5/10) -Steak and Frites tasty medium cooked steak. Strip loin isn't my fav cut but I was surprised by how much I liked it. The fries were seasoned well and were tasty. They are best served fresh. They didn't reheat well (7.5/10) Our server was polite and efficient. Take note that they only service Magical Dining for the dinner menu. After dinner, we perused the lobby for their displays of perfume, art, and other things they have for purchase. It's smells great throughout the hotel.

    07/2026 Rating: 3.0…read more Heard about this place from Insta... and what got me is the fact that they have pho. Restaurant: The restaurant is spacious and beautifully decorated. The sushi counter, as well as the salad, dessert and entree counters were clean and filled with endless selections. The hibachi counter was big enough, but I'm sure they could cook several dishes at the same time. There were lots of parking. And the restroom was pretty tidy. Food: The quantity of selection here is just as you would expect in a typical Chinese buffet. What made them stand out what's that they advertise or you can eat Pho. So when I come here to bring my family and find out that there's no pho... I was beyond disappointed. Their salt and pepper crab and shrimp were memorable. We tried the frog leg for the first time and it was very well seasoned. The ribs were tender, as were the string beans. The little dim sum area had a couple of the selection. Customer Service: Was not too crazy about the staff here. I see that the people that were making the food were working very hard to replenish the food as fast as they could. Whether if it's the sushi bar or the hibachi. Our female server was just a little too much with her policing vibe... coming back-and-forth every second. I guess because it wasn't that busy so she felt the need to monitor our table. The vibe was just really off. There was no one to ask to refill some of the dishes that has gone empty. I had to intercept the kitchen staff every time they come out to clean the counters I had to ask about three of them until 30 minutes later they got some of the wonton soup we've been waiting for. Overall, this experience was a bit underwhelming. We chose to eat here because they promised something different, which is the Pho. And for them not to have it was very disappointing. For us to travel all the way from the Disney Springs area and paid the dinner prize, it would've been more feasible for us to go to the other buffets nearby. Again there were endless amount of food options for you to enjoy, but it just really sucks that the one thing we came for was out.
